My money certainly would be on MSU, but you never know what will happen with 2 inexperienced Qbs at the helm. The Spartans definitely are returning more known commodities on top of playing at home. Like you mentioned, I seriously doubt Boise is ready to play with a Big Ten power house this early in the season. They're going to have to be competitive at the very least to have any chance at a BCS bid and I'm sure their kids know it. Really looking forward to 2 huge openers in the Legends division!! Did Boise States run end with the departure of Moore?? We'll find out Aug 31!

I live in FL so I was fortunate enough to watch a lot of spring ball and I can tell you without a doubt, Dirks was the most impressive player I watched this Spring! Glad to see it's translating to the Majors, hopefully the Tigers have found their long term answer at # 2. Go Tigers!!!

Well said Graham. Silver literally never says anything insightful... I think this guy has watched one to many Debbie Downer skits! Anyhow, should be a good opener although I seriously wonder if Boise still has the talent to pull an upset. With the way they've elevated themselves into the national spotlight over the last few years, you would have to think that would do wonders for their recruiting...

Bottom line is they should have gave him more time to adjust to second before they cut him. Or how about leaving Cabbie at 1st and DH Fielder who has absolutely no mobility, the guy is slower than turtle sh@t. For all you haters, how do you feel about Santiago, Raburn, Worth platoon? Yea, that's what I thought. The one who got cut should have been Raburn. Oh well it's a long season, Go Tigers! And good luck to Brandon, just not vs the Tigers...

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother reading these comments. All I see is scUM this, Walmart Wolverine that... there's nothing wrong with being a fan of a college you didn't actually attend. I happened to have grown up following both programs, but have grown to dislike state... mainly because of how disrespectful their fans are. You guys are correct that Michigan fans constantly point out the leather days, which nobody really cares about. But you guys are constantly patting yourselves on the back for beating 3 of the worst teams in Michigans 100+ year history. Congratulations!!! Last years win for State was over a quality team, this year should be a great closely contested game! The winner will likely be the favorite to win the big ten. If you guys think State is going to roll on UofM, then pass me some of what you're smoking!

Chris - Could you please let us know the lineup for the Mets game today? I'm getting ready to head over to PSL right now, hoping we get to see at least a couple starters....especially since the Braves game yesterday was stopped after the 6th!

You mad Sparty? You guys had a chance to win the Big Ten but you choked, no surprise there because MSU always chokes in the Big Games. When was the last time you even played in a BCS game? Oh thats right, NEVER! I understand the hate, Hoke won the Sugar Bowl in his first season and you're all scared because you know it's back to getting dominated by UM every year!!! Izzo has lost 3 games in a row and we have 3 players in the top 100 (including the # 2 ranked player in the nation) coming in next year. Your run is over, I hope you enjoyed it. Well at least you've got hockey....oh wait Michigan has a better hockey team too!!!

Wow guys, we really don't have a chance to win 45% of our games?? If Gregg Monroe & Jerebko improve from their rookie seasons and Brandon Knight surprises we should be able to compete with the rest of the pack behind the "5 or 6 locks".

Great signings! You guys are so negative, but do you forget our last 2 head coaches were terrible to the point that neither one will ever be a head coach in the NBA again? Despite what you say about Joe, Jerebko was very impressive his rookie year, and Monroe was even better! Jurys still out on Daye, but those were two solid pickups and I really like the Brandon Knight pick especially if Stuckey walks. Tay can play the uptempo game and I think Frank will utilize some of those point forward skills. We still have our full midlevel exception which we could use on a frontcourt player. Baring a major trade I believe by seasons end we will see the following starting lineup....

pg - Knight
sg - Gordon
sf - Prince
pf - Jerebko
C - Monroe

If only we wouldn't have traded affalo...

Call me crazy but I still think Hamilton is better than BG who always seems to have turnovers (or forced shots) at the worst times, but I think Hamiltons expiring contract will be easier to trade.

RIP Tom, you caught a lot of undeserved flack around here. Sometimes people don't know what they got till its gone. I always appreciated your articles, and you will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to Toms family and friends...

You're all just mad because Mike D is going to leave next year and Hoke will restore dominance over the Big Ten! #2 rated class in the nation coming in next year, all without even coaching a single game at Michigan (at the head coach level of course). I would be scared too if I was a MSU fan, you had your chance last year and blew it! It's all downhill from here little bro...

By meaningful relationship, he means "teaching players it's ok to cheat if you don't get caught". It's a tradgedy Tressel wasn't fired long ago...but a hero? A hero to all of the kids who got paid I suppose. And now everyone wants to pay these kids to play college sports? Give me a break, they get a free education for playing a game!

Great post, MSU & OSU seem to have the same philosophy...win at all costs. I hope these losers enjoyed their run, it's back to "little brother" status from here on out. What would you expect from a school only known for farming and sticking thermometers up cats @ss@s.
